it should be just music promotion section imo, it's not up to the producer to say if he/she is a pro or an amateur, you see it's the crowd that decides, and you are here after all to promote stuff, and if there is anything that needs to be corrected, people say it.
either way nik is right, if the content of this section stays the same, i don't really care.

I think that some producers here might be offended by being defined as "amature".
there are pleny people here who are much more than amatures,while some are as pro as every other well-known DJ.
so in my opinion,and as said before,best title would be Music Producers Promotion

I don't think dropping the amateur in the name will encourage more professionals to be in here, because if they're good what's to be afraid of anyway? I think the word amateur actually does encourage people who aren't as good as the pros to post their own tracks so that they can learn "the ways" as well. I'm seeing that from my perspective as a relatively new TA, and I'm not quite sure if I would have had the guts to post in there if it hadn't been for the word amateur, although I'm already pretty scared of you really really good pro people. *bow*
to be fair, how many people actually get payed for making music in this forum? i would guess at less than 5% of the users who post here, which makes most people amateurs in the literal sense of the word. but then again, a lot of tracks that come out of here (way more than 5%!) do not sound in any way amateur.
i think just 'music producers promotion' will be just fine, but i think people seem to get the wrong meaning of the word amateur. it isn't a derogetory(sp?) term, it just ,means you don't do it for money

but amateur producers who've recently started producing and so on could avoid to post their track there if name'll be like "pro" but this forum is all for their needs (amateur producers) and they have'nt to be afraid
so may be just combine the names?
like "amateur and professional music producers promotion"
it would be better to my mind
sorry for my english
It definitely should be removed from both : Amateur DJs Promotion and Amateur Music Producers Promotion.

haha, true, I'vent noticed it myself
I think "music producers promotion" is better than "music producers forum" because we already have "Production Studio" forum here
